2011 Colorado Gov’s Cup Another Great Success!
We enjoyed a weekend of interesting weather for sailboat racing, with light air, 75-degree temperatures, a pair of rain squalls on Saturday, and brilliant sunshine on Sunday. 18 dinghies joined 24 keelboats and got in up to 5 races, depending on class, over the weekend.

Thank you to Ameriprise Financial for all the bottled water for both the competitors as well as the volunteers. And finally thank you to all of the volunteers for helping to make this a successful regatta.
